53rd Wing rated effective on latest compliance inspection

Published: Friday, May 30, 2014 at 11:02 AM.

The 53rd Wing completed a major command-directed unit effectiveness inspection April 27- May 3.

The results of the inspection reported the wing rated “effective” overall, and “highly effective” in mission accomplishment.

The inspection process changed significantly from the last UEI with more emphasis on self-inspections. The ACC inspector general teams evaluated self-assessments, corrective action plans and overall mission effectiveness.

The wing was evaluated simultaneously here, and at one of their geographically separated units at Tyndall AFB.

“Our major command just confirmed what I knew to be true, when it comes to test and evaluation this wing achieves success. Our Airmen make a difference for our Air Force each and every day,” said Col. Alexus Grynkewich, the 53rd WG commander. “The inspections highlighted our many strengths and also provided great feedback on where we can continue to improve. We will take those findings and use them to make the 53rd WG even more effective as we go forward.”

The highlights of ACC’s findings are:

Eight of eight personal evaluations passed

15 unit strengths

Four superior team performers

24 superior performers

Staff Sgt. Charlisa Swain, of the 85th Test and Evaluation Squadron, received an IG coin for her efforts.

“I am extremely proud not just of our outstanding performers but the entire 53rd Wing team,” said Grynkewich. “Their dedication and hard work leads to the fielding of combat capabilities that make a difference for the warfighter.”
